[Chorus: Fleurie]
Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm                                       F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
     G
Slept in
Am
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
F               G
And it's lonely inside this mansion

[Verse 1: NF]
       Am
Yo, my mind is a house with walls, covered in lyrics
            F
They're all over the place, there's songs in the mirrors
            Dm
Written all over the floors, all over the chairs
                F                            G
And you get the uncut version of life when I go downstairs
                Am
That's where I write when I'm in a bad place and need to release
        F
And let out the version of NF you don't wanna see
       Dm
I put holes in the walls with both of my fists till they bleed
                F                                   G
You might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me
            Am
Physically abused, now that's the room that I don't wanna be in
                   F
That picture ain't blurry at all, I just don't wanna see it
          Dm
And these walls ain't blank, I just think I don't wanna see 'em
        F                      G
But why not? I'm in here, so I might as well read 'em
        Am
I gotta thank you for this anger that I carry around
             F
Wish I could take a match and burn this whole room to the ground
          Dm
Matter of fact, I think I'ma burn this room right now
         F                                   G
Somehow, this memory, for some reason, just won't burn down
            Am
You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
              F
Then took me downstairs and beat me till I screamed and I cried
           Dm
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
          F                               G
But I'ma keep the door shut and lock the lyrics inside
 
 
[Chorus: Fleurie]
 Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm                                         F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
         G
And slept in
Am
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
F                  G
And it's lonely inside this mansion, inside this mansion
 
 
[Verse 2: NF]
        Am
Yo, my mind is a house with walls, covered in pain
            F
See, my problem is, I don't fix things, I just try to repaint
          Dm
Cover 'em up, like it never happened, say, "I wish I could change"
            F                               G
Are you confused? Come upstairs and I'll show you what I mean
             Am
This room's full of regrets, it just keeps getting fuller, it seems
           F
The moment I walk into it's the same moment that I wanna leave
       Dm
I get sick to my stomach every time I look at these things
          F                                  G
But it's hard to look past when this is the room where I sleep
          Am
I look around, one of the worst things I wrote on these walls
           F
Was the moment I realized that I was losing my mom
             Dm
One of the first things I wrote was, "I wish I woulda called"
                   F                               G
But I should just stop now, we ain't got enough room in this song
        Am
And I regret the fact that I struggled trying to find who I am
        F
And I lie to myself and say I do the best that I can
           Dm
Shrug it off like it ain't nothing, like it's out of my hands
          F                               G
Then get ticked off whenever I see it affecting my plans
         Am
And I regret watchin' these trust issues eat me alive
             F
And at the rate I'm goin', they'll probably still be there when I die
         Dm
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
              F                          G
The question is, will I ever clean the walls off in time?
 
 
[Chorus: Fleurie]
 Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm                                         F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
        G
And slept in
Am
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
F                   G
And it's lonely inside this mansion, inside this mansion
 
 
[Verse 3: NF]
         Am
So this part of my house, no one's been in it for years
           F
I built a safe room and I don't let no one in there
            Dm
'Cause if I do, there's a chance that they might disappear
              F                        G
And not come back, and I admit, I am emotionally scared
        Am
To let anyone inside, so I just leave my doors locked
                     F
You might get other doors to open up, but this door's not
                 Dm
'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me
                       F                                 G
And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me
                 Am
I'm barricaded inside, so stop watchin'
                        F
I'm not coming to the door, so stop knockin', stop knockin'
      Dm
I'm trapped here, God keeps saying I'm not locked in
     F              G
I chose this, I am lost in my own conscience
            Am
I know that shuttin' the world out ain't solvin' the problem
                F
But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em
    Dm
I built it because I thought that it was safer in there
            F                               G
But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's livin' in here
         Am
Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in
                   F
Maybe that's the problem, 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since
                        Dm
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious, he never did
              F                                      G
He must have picked a room and got comfortable and settled in
                 Am
Now I'm in a position, it's either sit here and let 'em win
             F
Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can
             Dm
'Cause in order to do that, I'd have to open the doors
        F                                G
Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore
 
 
[Outro: NF & Fleurie]
Am F Dm D G
 
It's lonely
 
Inside (inside), inside (inside)
 
It's lonely (it's lonely)
 
Oh, yeah, it's loney
 
Inside this mansion

There's a lot of mistakes in here with the chord positioning and even some of the chords are wrong.. I mean you through chords in there don't even fit in the progression... The positioning you can fix but the intro/chorus is am, f, dm, f The verses am, f, dm, f, g the whole time it never changes... Idk where those f#m and c came from... The outro is the same as the verse.. please correct this
